hello everybody,

i installed a linux guest with kernel 2.6.37 (tried 2.6.36 too) in parallels 6 and try to install parallels
tools now. But it failes while compiling the kernel modules with following output:

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/prl_tools/prl_eth/pvmnet'

"Fehler" is german for error.

can i do something to fix it or do i have to wait for a version of parallels tools compatible with 2.6.37?

thx in advance,
Yevgeniy.
 
wow, i have not expect that much help.

nevermind, got it running myself. i have attached a patch, which lets you compile parallels tools agains kernel 2.6.37 (should work with 2.6.37 as well). as usual - use on your own risk.

bye.

Hi, could you tell me how to use this patch file with the mounted tools directory. I've rsynced the /media/Parallels Tools directory so I can apply the patch but can't find the files I should be patching. Any help would be appreciated.

regards
 
I cant get this patch working..
First i move to the cd directory:
cd media/parallels\ Tools

Then i try to run the patch in this way:
cat ~/prl_tools-2.6.37-v2.patch | patch -p1
but i get this error:
cat ~/prl_tools-2.6.37-v2.patch | patch -p1
patching file prl_fs/SharedFolders/Guest/Linux/prl_fs/inode.c

Maybe a permission problem? try doing it as root
 
I've already tried as root..but i think the problem is:
cat ~/prl_tools-2.6.37-v2.patch | patch -p1
patching file prl_fs/SharedFolders/Guest/Linux/prl_fs/inode.c
